A Tcv 31usieal Instriimeit for
Women.
BY MAY LYLESMITII.
The combination of amusement with
healthful and enjoyable recreation is
"a consumation devoutly k be wished."
That such a union is much needed tor
women, who at the present day are
either exhausted by ihe demands of
society and the i ush and push of the
hour, or -are surfeited by worn-out
pleasures, that have ceased to in
vigorate goes without saying.
Men, lis. a rule, have larger and wider
opportunities under which to practice
those forms of exercise that (end to
the development ot body and the better
ment of-health. Woman's world is
m re contracted, by its many conven
tional law and regulations.
Music, while it is regarded by most
people rather as an accomplishment
than an acquisition in women's-educa
tion, is not infrequently employed as a
means for physical development.
The studv of the voice, its nroner
exercise under competent instruction,
often do's much for the improvement
of the general health in those who
need greater, pulmonary activity.
In the handling of various j instru
ments, particularly the violin, iwomen
have shown that they are ;;s fully
capable of Lecoming agists as their
lords and masters.
While undoubtedly the pianoforte
will for years to come be the musical
instrument for women, yet the action
for divorce therefrom has already be
gun. It has been found that the
habitual practice, so needed ti acquire
a reasonable degree of skill, becomes,
in many ! instances, disabling to the
bodr. :
The position at the instrument, the
mental strain, with relief inj neither
direction, is frequently disastrous, forc
ing would be learners to abandon a
pleasure and an art that might be of
profit aiid enjoyment to tlil'iusclvcs
and to others. Piauism, with rare
exceptions, is, and will be, a musical
province almost wholly for miiles.
The violin advances a degree toward
the better in this resect, but still de
mands a long, close application to the
. . in
overcoming ot its intricacies, before
even a tolerance of its sounds will be
permitted. jj
Happily, there has been resurrected
from an almost forgotten grave an
instrument that combines not only
ease of playing but facility of master
ing and which its its use almost inva-
riablv. acts in-manv cases as a remedial
agent.,' certainly aids in the; develop
ment of bodily vigor and in the main
tenance of health.
This is the flute. The ability to
"ston the instrument is no : longer a
difficulty, as the silver caps to the keys
automatically replace the former needed
adjustment ot the lingers

tone is slight, far less than upon eitnei
flie'e arinet. cornet or iiistrt ments or
the brass family. 1 he ease With which
it mav be carried from place to place,
be tuned in concert with other intru-
ments, are factois that make it pecu
liarly and particularly adapted to the
hands of o nan.
The beneficial results of its use are
soon seen on the lungs. oniracieu
chests-(the outgrowth of stooping over
school desks, or the consequences of
the absurdities of dress) become ex
panded.; More oxygen is taken into
the system during the time of practice
and playing, and the, habit of deep
inspiration thus acqifrel when the
instrument is being used continues
insensibly in the interim.
Adapted aliktt, to the concert room
and the parlor, the flute attracts by

4'A Brief History of the Flute," in
which I called the attention of my
sex to the merits and pleasure of the
instrument.
The newness of the subject has at
tracted vel!-de:erved comment, and has
created a fresh interest in a matter
that builds up a new shrine at which
women may worship. Let cur girls
make an attempt at this means of
diversion which promises not only a
vast deal of enjoyment, but what is far

degree of good health. Etade.
The Daily Saratofjian Jun.tt27th,
1890, in a review of the New York
Music Teachers Meeting, sit Saratoga
Springs June 24th, 25th and 2Gth, had
this to say of the writer of the above:
uln the twelve rich musical program
mes given during the three days' con
vention, Miss May Lyle Smith who
is not ouly a remarkable flute plaver,
'.but a very handsome and bright Voung
lady, the daughter of Dr. Lyle Smith,
of Hudson, N. Y., was the chief at
traction and sensatiou among the
many fine musical features.
May Smith is not a powerful, nor
even an individualizing name, but May
Smith, flutist, is quite another appel
lation; but when the owner of it ap
peared an uncontrollable sort of ebulli
tiofTtook possession of the house.
Miss Smith wore a white gown made
baby fashion, with shoulder sleeves,
and not a rinket of any sort to mar
its beauty. When she raised her
silver-trimmed flute to her mouth and
made the reeds pulsate with the inspira
tion from her pink lips, a murmur of
admiration ran through the-house.
Everybody had seen a lady bow a
violin, but this was the first time a fair
flutist had been seen.
And so fair, too!
She played like an ideal shepherd
boy. She had the grace and ease that
comes with training and a conscious
ness of charm, and as a girl and a
flutit she was an inspiration for a
painter, a poet and a dreamer.
Truly this is woman's age. One had
only to look at Miss May to know that
knowledge is a means of grace, that
ideality in education increases the ca
pacity of beau'y and utility, and that
to be well trained ne ntdly and physi-
ii' it i i
cillv is ever a help ami never a hin-
Irauce to the sweet, wholesome, holv
influence of woman."
The Kxpo.sitioii Music Festival.
Director A. Pauli is rapidly perfect
it . i . i' 1 1 i
ing alt the -arrangements ror the grand
oniric festival which will be held in
Raleigh on October 14 and 21, as a
preliminary feature to the great expo

When John Hardsley made his con

his .audience by telling them how th
house in which he lived, and of which
he had now been ruthlessly deprived,

represented his wife's savings of her

The sick room was very still; the
night-lamp burned low, aiid the watch
ers made fantastic shadows on the
wall, but no one moved or spoke. The
doctor said this was the turning point
of the disease, and there was nothing
to do but wait wait.
The boy slept and his father kept
his eyes fixed upon the thin w.utcd
features, and watched for what he
hoped would prove a new lease of life.
The mother had gone to lie down and
rest. The nurse sat near and dozed.
At last the sick child suddenly opened
his large bright eyes and said in a
clear voice:
uPapa."
u What, dear boy?" answered the
father softly.
"Is it near morning ?"
uYes, dear hoy V

father faintly.
There w.is a long silence and then
the sick child moved restlessly on his
pillows.

she brought the mother, who stole
J softly in and knelt on the other side of
the bed.

Again he lay among the pillows like
a pale lily, and his eyes were wide open.
k'I can't sec you, papa,7' he murmured.
"Will it soon be morning?"
"Yes, dear bov."
"And will I be well then 1""
The pcor father could not answer.
No one spoke, and a faint light soon
stole into the room that drowned the
flickering rays of the night-lamp and
shone rosy on the wall. Then suddenly
a little voice filled the room. It was
so sweet and clear that it sounded like
a strain of music from celestial spheres.
It was the dying boy finishings his
prayer ! When he came to the last
clause he seemed groping in doubt.
"Forever and ever forever and
ever " and with the words on his lips
he drifted off to sleep again.
The rising sun shone into the room
and lighted up its dim obscurity. It
lay in gulden-bars on the white pillows
and touched the little face with a
mocking glow of health ami strength.

These days I am wnndcriu most too
fur along into the vale of years to make
a full hand in the field, so I reads the
papers tolerable constant. Every now
and occasionly I see where some horny
handed son of a statesman talks cut in
meetin and tells the farmers to plant
less cotton, and corn, and oats, and hay,
fid hogs, and sich like. .
That sounds like good advice on first
blush, and it is. - Hut good advice ainl
goin to run the farm, or pay off the
store account, or sqush the mortgage.
Its too blame plentiful like and cheap.
Good advice is about the only thing in
this vain and fleeting world that a poor
man can git without pay in for it.
Anybody that wants to can just lay
down and vallow in good advice free
rat is for jiothin.
The comin statesman can give you
the figures, plain as the nose on your
fate, and put you down in the middle
of the big road that lead right on the
land ot pence and plenty. hut my
notion is when a farmergoes to fooling
with figgers he is plaiitin his mud
hooks on powerful slippery ground.
The trouble is the figgers don't always
come out like they went in. They
'may stack up in good shape at'the start,
and then go to pieces -en the home

Seems to me like the fellovsJJafrs
always advisin the farmers how to hold
down the government and run their
farms are wastin lots of breath blowin
in a heap ot precious time, ainhow.
The ways of the farmer is hard to
find out. I have been runniit with
em for three score years and a goin, and
I don't know it all yet. Hut 1 am
leariiin all the time. I learns
somethin mighty nigh every day. I
have done been and learned one thing
about the farmers, and that is that we
most generally do pity much as we
blame please.
We may hold beat ineetins in the
spring and build new platforms, and
blaze the way for reforms and revolu
tions, and resolve whereas till the
evenin stars sing together. Hut then
when the meetin adjourns and -we
go home to pitch the crops every fellow
day his own hand, and plays his own
win.

whole-souled Virginia gcntleman,ho
however was very passionate and ex

to mix up the reverential and the pro

odd kind of way. He had given up till
his crop, pasture-fields, and everything
he could snare to the Confederate gov

acre lot of corn for his own use, and
this he guarded with unceasing vigi
